BLOOD POISON.

Three years ago contracted a blood pois on. applied to a physician at once, and his treatment came near killing me. l em- ployed an old physician and then went to Ky. I then went to Hot Springs and re- mained two months, but nothing seemed to cure me permanently, although temporary relief was given me. My condition grew desperate and I applied to a noted quack, but did not improve. l then used prep sraton which was prescribed 'gratisy' but it contained too much alcohol and aggravated my sufierings l then placed myself under the treatment of noted Nashville physi- clan and for time was benefited, but by fall l returned home a ruined man. physically and financially. with but little prospects of ever getting well My money being ex- hausted. l did not know what to do. In May. 1885, my mother persuaded me 70 get bottle of E B. B. (made in Atlanta) and l did so to gratify her, but to my utter aston ishment had not finished the first bottle be- fore the ulcer had been healed.
 To the present time have used five bot ties aud have received more benefit than from all the rest combined; and l am satis- fled that E. E. B. is the most wonderful blood purifier ever before known, and I urge all af- flicted young men to try one single bottle and be convinced. can truly say think it is the best medicine in the world.

quaintanceship begun under such novel circumstances, progressed rapidly in the fOrty-five minutes Mir. Douglass spent under the hos pital roof of his next door neigh Dor, and a kind invitation to "call again" sent him on his way, re- joicing that fate had cast his lot in such pleasant place. And Blanche! Ah, she was but girl and what girl has not had bright dreams!
 Time passed on, bringing in the New Year, bringing the first faint breezes of spring and the per fume of the earliest viOlets, bring ing Raymond Douglass often to the house of the grayeyed dam sel. and bringing true, pure love to the hearts of these two.
 And so, when the old earth look ed it's falrest in it's emerald robe and flower garlands, these two were wed.
 Blanche has escaped the distress caused by rejected manuscripts, by not writing any more. A sure way out of the difiiculty.-Mariam V. Crocker, in Chicago Current.

Rules for Telling Horses Ages.

The full grown horse possesses twenty.fOur back teeth--that is six in each jaw; these are called mOlars or grinders. He has twelve front teeth, that is six in each jaw. Mares have no tushes. The foal has at its birth, or shortly after terwards, eight milk teeth, that is four in each jaw. These remain unchanged until he is three years old. The mouth of the yearling and two-year.olds cannot be con founded. The yearlings mouth shows no signs of use, and the corner teeth are shells only; at two years old these teeth are strong and we'll grown, and the corner teeth filled mp A little before three years old the two center teeth of each jaw fall out, and are replaced by permanent teeth. A little before four, the teeth on each side of the centre teeth are replaced by permanent ones.

MRS. M. A. CATO. IE life's weary journey. where'er we may
 roam, How tender and sweet are the memories of
 home: They come like the sunlight at evenings de-
 cline, And wreathe all the past in radiance di-
 vine. The fond recollections to me now are dear Make pleasant life's evenings and fill it with
 cheer; Tho the years may steal from us lifes vigor
 and bloom, They can ne'er take away the sweet memo
 ries of home. The friends of our youth-o of the dear olden
 time, We hear their sweet voices like music, low
 chime; In memory they whisper so tender and low Of the friends and the home we loved long Tho faded are the leaves of lfe's beautiful
 tree, Loves flowers bloom as fragrant as ever for
 me, And gather its garland's yet fresh in their
 bloom, And cheer life's decline with memories of
 home. o, the home over wonder, how sweet it will
 be, From care and from sorrow, from suffering
 free; There the loved ones will gather-no more
 will they roam From the house of our father. the spirit
 blest home. Home, home, sweet home: The house ot our father. the spirits blest

Points About Pomposity.

It was Theodore Hook whose humorous fancy was tickled one day by very pompOus man strid ing along the street with grea. i'm pOrtance. He went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "I beg your pardOn; are you any body in particularly he asked and pass ed on, while the pOmpous gentle mans surprise did not give him a chance to answer. After all. it is not what We are, but what we think we are, that makes us happy or unhappy. fancy most people are rather satisf fled with themseles. Other peoples opinions do not matter anyway about anything. But pompOus man is one of the jokes of nature. If there were not some funny people in the world to make us smile at them at times, we would be dull. There is al ways something about fat man that is impressive. There is q great deal of dignity about d pro- truding stomach, and the shorter mau's breath the more dlgnified and respected be becomes. The stomach does it all. It sticks out. and without possessing any indi- vidual character, it seems to say: ''The gentleman around me has never had an uneasy conscience or an empty purse." A fat man has an awful lot of dignity until he commences to run. It is always humilating to see a man try to do something he can't do gracefully, and fat man cannot run without losing that impressiveness which helps him through life, and becOm. ing funny. Fat men all have a tendency to pOmpOslty. Some times they are really not pompous, but the effort of carrying the dig nity in froet of them gives them the appearance. It is hard for a thin man to be pompous, because  the higher he lifts his head the thinner he gets about the waist, and it knocks the dignity out of him. Perhaps some day scientist will find a distinct relation be- tween pOmpousness and fat and enable a man to avoid pompOsity by changing his diet.-San Fran cisco Chronicle.

EVIL SPEAKING.-"Speak evil of no man," says the great apostle; as plain command as 'Thou shalt do no murder.n But who, even among Christians, regards this command! What is evil speaking! It is not the same as lying or slandering. All q man says may be true as the Bible, and yet the saying of it may be evil speaking. For evil speaking is neither more noI less than speak ing evil of an absent person-rela- ting something evil which was re. ally done or said by one who is not present when it is related.

VERY NERVOUS.

For many years have been afflicted with Rheumatism combined with some Kidney Troubles. Indigestion finally added to my mysery and I soon became feeble and very nervous, and my whole system was pros tratedG Several physicians were employed and numerous patent medicines resorted to without benefit. After seeing so many testi- moEials extrolling the wonderful merits of B. B. R., l commenced its use and the effect wa, like magic. Rhcuma,lc pains ceased, my kidneys were relieved and my constitu- ton improved at once, and cheerfully rec ommend it to all others who mly be similrr- ly afflicted.

NEW YORK, x. Y. November [, lSS :.
 DEAR MApAM:-We regret that the manu- script has not been found available for the magazine. So many considerations enter en- ter into the question of availability such as previous acceptance of somewhat similar material, or superabundance of matter OH hand. or untitness on account of the editors present plans, that the return of your manu- script does not imply that it was thought de- fcient from n literary point of view.

 Blanche Raymond read the let ter through several times, and then, with a little sigh, took up the poor, rejected manuscript.

 It was evident that something important was being evolved from her busy brain, for the frOwn deep ened till the grey eyes looked al most black beneath the long lash. es.

 "A great lark,' strangely i'm proper language for an aspiring au- thor"

Two Big States.


The many arguments in favor of d.
vision of the territory are being strongly
supported by the majority of papers Of
both sections. On the proposed line of
division North Dakota would contain
about 100000 population and South Da-
kota about 100000. North Dakota,
therefore, has more inhabitants than
Colorado, Delaware or Oregon contained
IN 1880, and mor than three times as
many as Nevada did in that year, A.
though these are all f%ull-ledged states
and have been for years. Delaware is
one Of the original thirteen, while Ore
gon was admitted in 1850, Nevada in
1864 and Colorado in 1876. By division
each section would contain a larger
population than either of the above
named states at the time of their ad-
mission, and with sufficient population
there is no candid argument but what
would prove that each state is capable
of maintaining itself.

It is Not a Law.


y, The other day the Press called atten-
ton to the fact that the new board of

stature and therefore is not a law.
There is another bill in the same Fix
the one requiring county commission
ers to take bids for furnishing fuel, sta
tionary, and any supplies amounting to
800 or over, and for publishing the
proceedings of the board. The bill up.
pears as chapter 81, in the laws Of 1887.
Il a introduced and passed in the
house, but was lost in the council by a
vote of eight nays and seven ayes.
Nevertheless, it was certified from the
council to the house as having passed
the mistake of course being due to
the rush and hurry of the last night; it
went then from the house to the gov
ernor and was approved, as he had a
right to suppose it had duly passed both
legislative bodies. AS it did not so pass
it cannot be law.

The Sea p Again.

M~innewaukon Siftings.
"What is that? Look!' was the ex-
cited exclamation of Mrs. Frank Wise
to her husband as the family were sitting
at the dinner table, Friday Of last week,
and rushing into the yard, Mr.. Wise
looked towards the Lake in the direction
indicated by his wife and what was his
conformation, to witness about midway
between the dock and first small sand
bar, a huge black objectseething through
the water at a rapid rate, leaving deep
out path behind it and throwing out
huge waves upon either side. Watching
the strange object until it disappeare ed
from sight around the sand bar Mr.. Wise
came ut once to town and related what
by the Siftings, stated that the object, as
it appeared to HIM was about lS feet in
length and about 3 feet wido, with a head
about twice the size of that of a horse
and elevated above the rest Of the body.
Tho object. as near as could be ascertain
ed, was moving about twice as fast as a
common boat could he rowed or as fast
as u horse could trOt.
The residence of Mr.. Wise is about
one-half mile from where the object was
first seen and had it been a flock of birds
or a row-boat it could have easily been
distinguished. For several years past
an object bearing the description given
by Mr.. Wise has been seen at different
points in the lake. 1t is a we'll known
fact that no Indian has ever been seen
upon the lake and many believe that the
horror ofsome sea animal is the Of
their great aversion to the water. MI.
Wise is a trustworthy gentleman and
could have had no possible object in All
exaggeration of the facts. He is positive
that no object other than a sea monster
of some kind could have created such a
commotion in the water or travelled at
such q wte Of speed. We give the facts
in the matter just as they have been re-
lated to us and without the color of inn
agination,
